[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that is disappointing with the changes is taylor is emptied.  Like as empty as tuckahoe.  There’s no option to fill it either since it’s boundary is surrounded by planning units either moved to key or asfs.  They also moved out the one affordable housing building zoned to taylor, so not sure if the frl rate is inaccurate.

They got rid of the island but created a systemic inequality between two neighboring schools.[/quote]

What is the systematic inequality you are mentioning? Can you explain?[/quote]
Taylor will not be able to relieve capacity for the next five years— in this proposal it is at 80% or below.  There is no way to fill it.  They boxed themselves in.
Asfs on the other hand is over capacity.  The only kids that can be moved out in the next five years is the area in courthouse, which is also the only affordable housing at asfs.  So in the next round, their only option is to move courthouse to long branch (or Hoffman Boston or fleet) to relieve crowding at asfs.  This causes asfs to go to 0% f/rl, long branch and key meantime will be closer to 50%.  So you end up with taylor at 70% with >10% f/rl, asfs at 100% capacity but 0% f/rl, and long branch can no longer be used to relieve crowding south of route 50.  Taylor never gets filled unless it goes option.  [/quote]

There are Glebe units that are way closer to Taylor than any of the Key or ASFS units. Glebe can push to Taylor and Ashlawn can push to Glebe and Barrett can push to Ashlawn.

Which units would you put in Taylor instead of Key or ASFS?[/quote]
